I have an exercise for you. Try to solve yourself your problem by
browsing the archive of this mailing list, where this very same
question has been asked and answered several times.
Also, I would like to urge everybody here to make a serious effort to
browse the archive _before_ posting a request. I think it is sign of
respect for people who have already taken the time to help others,
and will also help us being helpful to those who have problems not
previously met by anybody.
Just as a hint: you problem has to do with non-symmorphic symmetry
groups and with the way symmetry operations are found out in the
code ...
Hope this helps
